README
SimplePDF is a wrapper of UIGraphics PDF context written in Swift.
You can:
- [x] add texts, images, spaces and lines, table
- [x] set up page layout, adjust content alignment
- [x] generate PDF data/file.
In summary, you can create a simple PDF effortlessly. :smile:
Example
let A4paperSize = CGSize(width: 595, height: 842)
let pdf = SimplePDF(pageSize: A4paperSize)
pdf.addText("Hello World!")
// or
// pdf.addText("Hello World!", font: myFont, textColor: myTextColor)
pdf.addImage( anImage )
let dataArray = [["Test1", "Test2"],["Test3", "Test4"]]
pdf.addTable(rowCount: 2, columnCount: 2, rowHeight: 20.0, columnWidth: 30.0, tableLineWidth: 1.0, font: UIFont.systemFontOfSize(5.0), dataArray: dataArray)
let pdfData = pdf.generatePDFdata()
// save as a local file
try? pdfData.writeToFile(path, options: .DataWritingAtomic)
See the result [example.pdf](Assets/example.pdf), which is generated from [ExampleCode.swift](ExampleCode.swift).

let A4paperSize = CGSize(width: 595, height: 842)
let pdf = SimplePDF(pageSize: A4paperSize, pageMargin: 20.0)
// or define all margins extra
let pdf = SimplePDF(pageSize: A4paperSize, pageMarginLeft: 35, pageMarginTop: 50, pageMarginBottom: 40, pageMarginRight: 35)
Write Something
pdf.addText( "some text" )
pdf.addImage( UIImage )
pdf.addAttributedText( NSAttributedString )
pdf.addLineSeparator(height: 30) // or pdf.addLineSeparator() default height is 1.0
pdf.addLineSpace(20)
Layout
You can layout horizontally and vertically
// Start a horizonal arrangement
pdf.beginHorizontalArrangement()
// Add space from the left
pdf.addHorizontalSpace(60)
// now add your text, table, image, ...
// finishe the horizontal arrangement so you can continue vertically
pdf.endHorizontalArrangement()
// adds a vertical space
pdf.addVerticalSpace(70)
Table Definitions
Define the layout of tables with definitions
let tableDef = TableDefinition(alignments: [.left, .left],
columnWidths: [100, 300],
fonts: [UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20),
UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)],
textColors: [UIColor.black,
UIColor.blue])
let data = [] // my data
pdf.addTable(data.count,
columnCount: 2,
rowHeight: 25,
tableLineWidth: 0, // this is taken from the definition
tableDefinition: tableDef,
dataArray: data)
Utilities
pdf.beginNewPage() // Begin a new page
These following commands will affect everything you write after you call.
pdf.setContentAlignment(.Center) // .Left, .Center, .Right
Generate PDF data
let pdfData = pdf.generatePDFdata()
// write to file
try? pdfData.writeToFile(path, options: .DataWritingAtomic)
// or upload to Internet
// For example, Alamofire.upload(...)
